Has your love for Madden dropped because of no NCAA?

I think Madden can be planning inside appropriate track yet NCAA might have encouraged them farther along.

I am halfway through year 4 in a 2 person online CCM and we're not even close to being burned out. Started out 6-10, 5-11, 12-4, and now 4-1. Madden has never had decent enough defense to make that a possibility until this year. It's nice to finally be able to play the game, actually build a team, and get realistic results week in and week out. The reason I had such a quick turnaround in year 3 was because my last 9 games were against 8 teams under .500 on the year. My lone loss in this season is the one team over .500 I've played. I don't remember the last time CPU teams actually played like their records would indicate in a football game. So if anything, this year's game makes me want to keep playing Madden and wanting NCAA more than ever.

Do you have a slider set? Cause I was a hard-core NCAA Footballer and vanilla Heisman was never hard enough for me. Madden I found to be too much robo-QB on All-Madden which ruined it for me. I hadn't bought Madden in a couple years until I got an Xbox One on launch and got Madden 25. I was hugely disappointed in that game. I gave this year's game a shot and after 1 season of CCM with 5 players (all from NCAA like me) we gave it up. I've still got the game but haven't completed a season and it's Christmas season... meanwhile, I've played 3 more seasons of NCAA football on the X360 during this football season.

Madden just doesn't cut it for me. If I played on vanilla All-Pro, it's too easy. If I play on vanilla All-Madden, its too much robo-QB. I mean I've played several games where the QB went 30-31 or 24-25 or even a few games where the QB was 100% accurate.

I used sliders alot in NCAA. Do you have a set for Madden cause I can't seem to find one.

Yes. This years Madden is junk. I would love to be able to play another football game, but Madden is what I'm stuck with

Despite the claim, "no NCAA means more attention to make Madden better" I think NCAA and Madden would have pushed each other especially seeing the plans the NCAA team had for the future. I think Madden is heading in the right direction but NCAA would have pushed them farther along. Just a dang shame.

I know right?! If NCAA could've at least made it one more season we would've had at least a copy of the game on next gen to play for years to come. Now every time I log onto NCAA, I can't stand how bad it looks. Still a more fun game to play than Madden but man what a graphics update it needs.

It's too bad that people looking for a little money with their lawsuits had to kill NCAA football. I would usually play both games every year but always thought that NCAA was the more fun game.

It sure effects me for the fact of if I want to play with Duke Johnson in Madden I have to wait til he turns pro!

if NCAA was still being made i likely would only buy madden, and spend little time playing it.

with no NCAA my football time goes to madden obviously. i really like the game, and with all the advancement in the game from years past it's something i'll keep playing.

i do wish they'd do something with their online franchise website and give considerable more control as far as what we are able to do while away from the console.

if/when ncaa comes back around, i'm sure my focus will trend back toward that game.

I love Madden 15's graphics and gameplay but I miss importing NCAA players into draft classes. So, yes, my love for Madden has slightly dropped due to the lack of a NCAA football video game.
